J.B. Hunt Transport Services, Inc. announced the Company has been named to G.I. Jobs magazine’s annual list of the “Top 50 Military-Friendly Employers” for the second consecutive year. J.B. Hunt was ranked 14th overall and is the only Arkansas-based company to make the prestigious listing. J.B. Hunt consistently lists job listings on its website in three departments: truck, shop, and office.
“You can never underestimate the value of military leadership training,” said Rick McCormack, publisher of G.I. Jobs. “This type of classroom training mixed with real-world application, often times performed under stressful conditions, prepares veterans for corporate leadership roles far better than can ever be replicated in a business school or traditional educational setting.”
The Top 50 Military-Friendly Employers list recognizes companies which have demonstrated strong military recruiting efforts, high percentage of new military hires, and instituted policies for National Guard and Reservists. Approximately 2,500 firms with annual revenues in excess of $1 billion were surveyed. Only two percent made the final list.
“The sacrifice and dedication our military personnel put forth each day to defend our country and our freedom is nothing short of extraordinary,” said Kirk Thompson, president and CEO for J.B. Hunt. “It brings us great pride to have these same focused and driven individuals as part of our employee family. We are honored to have our commitment to these individuals recognized as part of the G.I. Jobs Top 50 list for the second year in a row.”
